Beveled silver mirror plaque, etched on the back not the front

A beveled silver mirror plaque is a mirrored glass award whose design is cut by deep etch and then filled with color. The bevel is an angled cut around the perimeter of the mirror that catches light along the border. Deep etch is the only decoration method offered on this plaque, and buyers order it for recognition awards, retirement gifts, and donor displays.

A back-etched mirror plaque carries its design on the rear silvered layer, so cleaning cloths, fingerprints, and desk contact never reach the cut. A front-engraved glass plaque leaves the cut exposed on the display face, where dust settles into the grooves. The color fill on a back-etched mirror also reads as solid white or black against a reflective ground rather than the frosted grey of surface engraving.

Yes, logos and recipient text are deep etched into the back of the mirror and filled with color. Send vector artwork so thin logo strokes and small name text hold their shape at etch size. One fill color is included, so a design that needs a second fill color requires a separate quote.

Etched mirror plaques are ordered most often for retirement presentations, service anniversaries, donor and sponsor recognition walls, sales banquet awards, building and program dedications, and real estate closing gifts. The easel backing suits desk and shelf presentation, which fits office recognition better than wall-only awards. Larger sizes such as 9" x 12" are typical for lobby and boardroom display.

Production takes 5 working days from artwork approval. The count starts when you approve the proof, not when the order is placed, so allow extra days for art review and any corrections. Shipping transit time is added on top of the 5 production days.

Yes, every order must specify vertical or horizontal format. The etch layout is set to the orientation before production begins, so the choice cannot change after artwork approval. Confirm the format and the size at the same time, since both are locked into the proof.

Wipe the mirror face with a soft dry cloth, or spray glass cleaner onto the cloth rather than onto the plaque. The etch and color fill sit on the rear surface, so anything applied to the front never reaches the artwork. Keep liquid off the back panel and the easel backing, and avoid abrasive pads that can scratch glass.

No food-contact, child-safety, or environmental certifications apply to this plaque because it is a glass display item rather than a consumer product with regulated contact. The bevel is cut and smoothed around the edge, and the plaque ships boxed to protect the glass in transit. Place it on a stable surface, since a glass plaque on an easel can tip on an uneven shelf.

Per-unit pricing is quoted by size and quantity, with the 5" x 7" the lowest cost of the five sizes and the 9" x 12" the highest. Larger etch coverage, higher quantities, and a second fill color are the main factors that move the price. Send the size, orientation, quantity, and artwork to get a firm per-unit figure.
